Just finished this amazing graphic novel. I cannot recommend it enough. It is a brilliant story about being the new kid in middle school. The main character Jordan navigates being new in a school that is very different from his old school. However, the book is not full of tired cliches about not fitting in at a new school. Instead, the book really is about racism and friendship. I loved the clever allusions to trendy brands, popular culture, and movies expressed through the modern graphics. I also loved the message of not judging.
Five out of five stars. I highly recommend this book!
